Biography

Post Separation Cooperative Parenting (PSCP) is the name of a post separation parenting program under the Family Law Act

Is this a counselling service accredited under the family Court Act (10C)?

Yes

Description:

PSCP helps separated parents who are fighting learn how parental conflict affects children and why children need parents to be supportive of their relationship with the other parent. It helps parents focus on the needs of the children, instead of on the conflict.

Separated parents who are not talking, who can’t communicate without fighting or who are having trouble managing parenting arrangements may go to a Post Separation Cooperative Parenting Service. We will arrange for parents to attend at separate times so that they don’t have to meet. The program is aimed at both parents individually and is helpful even if only one parent attends.
